Wrapping ourselves in a warm prayer quilt of love.





Dear Family of Love!

Happy Take Care Tuesday ! I hope all is well. I hope you all spent time taking care of yourselves and others. Today I have spent most of the day at St. Peter's a.k.a the Faith Factory! It really felt good to be home at St. Peter's. I hadn't spent a long day down at church for quite awhile. St. Peter's still has the feeling of a warm prayer quilt. I hope that Walk With Me On Our Journey gives you the same feeling. Tonight as we pray let us feel like we are being wrapped in a warm prayer quilt of love and at the same time knit a prayer circle that will encircle this fragile and broken world. of God's

Let us start with our second mindfulness breathing exercise.

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know
Be still
Be

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know
Be still
Be

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know
Be still
Be

Now imagine each of us placing a warm prayer quilt of love around each other.  We pray this prayer: 

God we pray and ask you to help us to envision a warm prayer quilt of love that will give us all loving comfort by imagining being wrapped tightly by each other in loving service to you and to each other. 
We :
Imagine it enfolding us with love.

Imagine it making us feel safe from harm

Imagine it giving us strength when we feel weak.

Imagine it healing us through warm thoughts and loving prayers.

Imagine it feeling like home
Imagine it enfolding us when we feel, lost, lonely alone, and invisible.

Imagine it feeling like Gods arms enfolding us with love, light, and mercy.

Imagine it feeling like Jesus' redeeming and healing graces.

Imagine it feeling like the Holy Spirit being the Holy Comforter.

Imagine it feeling like it being encircled and wrapped around each other uniting us and not dividing us.

Imagine it wrapping our family members who are ill with the warmth and healing balm. 

Imagine it wrapping the world in justice, mercy and with God guiding us in the pathways of peace.

Imagine it comforting all of us who are grieving.

Imagine it wrapping our dear departed loved ones for their journey home to the Thin Places.

Imagine it enfolding the least of these who are without food, clothing, and shelter.

We imagine it being made of stitched prayers of love, joy, hope, and peace.

We imagine the prayers that are being said as we wrap each other in the prayer quilt we choose for each other.

We imagine it enfolding our family members who long to feel accepted lovingly and authentically for who they and we are.

We pray that as we imagine we may feel the presence of God our Creator, Jesus our Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit Holy Comforter. We lift up these our prayers to you O God with warm, loving, and compassionate hearts and heart homes. Amen.

With love as warm and enfolding as a prayer quilt of love,

Sara
